But Soft, Sweet, and Dreamy centers around Anna Rose Menako’s most recent series of mixed media watercolors and hints at the interdisciplinary nature of her practice. Her new body of work, The Crush Series, encapsulates the innocent and timeless feeling of having a crush, and ushers in springtime as it blooms in the MARN Art + Culture HUB.

The Milwaukee Artist Resource Network and our featured artist invite the public to participate in this exhibition by contributing to a large canvas in the gallery – on Thursday and Friday nights in March, guests are welcome to paint their interpretation of romance, and in particular, what it means to have a crush on someone.

Join us for associated programming around this show: 

Opening Reception on Friday, March 8th, 5-8pm

Gallery Engagement on Thursday and Friday nights in March, 5-8pm

Closing Reception on Friday, March 29th, 5-8pm
